John 1:10-13
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
Quickword: Children of God
John informs us that when Jesus was in the world, although He made the world, the world did not recognize him. He came to his own people and the did not receive him. Yet to those who believed, he gave them the right to become children of God.
- Even today many fail to recognize Him (Jesus)
- Even more fail to receive Him and chase after the world
- Everyone has the opportunity to become children of Gid, it only requires belief.
Just like those who encountered the earthly Jesus 2000 years ago, many failed to recognize that the Savior of the world has come. Yet for anyone who believe in his name, we have been given the right to become children of God. Do you believe?
